Haven't found any on my Black Lab and she's outside a lot.It seem's just as good as advantix and a lot cheaper.

Don't know about ticks, but, it didn't work for fleas on my dogs. Haven't heard anything good about it from my friends.

This works only for spot treatment! These bugs can hide everywhere. Fought them for 2 years in an older wooden apartment building. Matresses are unsalvageable if infected, they will even bore into the wooden bed frames. Used the spray, bought a steamer, powder. Nothing worked 100%. Good luck. Finally rid of them, but I had to move, to finally get rid of them. They love books, videotapes, anything electronic, even power cords. They will infest draperies, and pets are vulnerable to being attacked.Best of luck,Scott..... Survivor

I have re-read the box and the label mentions nothing of ticks. Lots of references to fleas, but no ticks. But, it may be worth a try! I think if my dog had a few ticks, I'd try it. Good luck. Joe

Under direct attack, I doubt it. Pitched in formal campgrounds, you're not likely to encounter ticks unless you wander into unmaintained areas with tall weeds. As I understand tick behavior, they cling to the weeds and get on animals/people as they brush the weeds.

Someone from my group said it should be good for ticks...treatment and prevention. I have not used it for this purpose myself.

So far my dogs haven't gotten any fleas or ticks. But Ruby hasn't been hunting yet and that is the true test. My nephew said his dogs got ticks while having it on so he went with the collar from the vet. I can't really tell you yet.

That's what Bayer's website says. Both dogs are still tick free after approximately 1 month (the first 2 weeks my outdoor lab did have a few). I will remove them in November (5 months wear) because it will be too cold for ticks. I was planning to store them in their original container & put them back on in May. I do not know if they will still work or not. However, I still feel I got my money's worth either way. Expensive topicals like Advantix did not repel my outdoor dogs ticks. Good luck!

My critters are not exposed to tick areas so I don't know. It does a great job on flea destruction. CC

No, I have not but it would be easier to remove a tick while it is still alive with something hot like a cigarette or incense stick. Just touch it. However, if you pull off the tick and the head stays buried, it may help remove the head.

Sorry, but we do not have a problem with ticks, possibly because the dog is in a fenced area and thus deer, who carry lots of ticks, do not stray in our yard; and the dog chases away other critters. It does work very well for fleas, though we have rarely had to deal with that problem because we use a 7 month collar AND monthly Hartz drops which for many years has worked well.

Yes you can put them out now. The tick larva hatch in July and August, so they are looking for their first blood meal. Get more and put them out next April early June as that is when the Lyme infected ones are in the nymph stage and looking for their food. We've seen a huge decline since using these.

I agree with Sally's answer. We've been using them in our woods for several years, and have only seen a couple ticks in that time, when people around us are seeing them all summer long. Very good product, but not for indoors.

Megan I cannot be certain however I will say I camped right near the coast of Connecticut for 4 days and I did not have a problem with ticks or mosquitos. Just fyi "Lyme disease" got its name from Old Lyme, Ct and I was just south of there. Do a google search on "essential oils tick repellent" and you will find a bunch of different mixes that work well for you and your pets. Here's one that I found..http://www.primallyinspired.com/easy-natural-tick-repellent-that-really-works-essential-oils/I hope this helps you.

Since I don't take my dog into the areas where she picks up ticks daily I just use it as needed. I spray it on her right before we leave to go for a hike or walk a couple of times a week.

We are in a prime mosquito haven and I didn't really think of this as a repellent for them my main concern was for ticks. When we are outside while I'm being surrounded by the blood thirsty suckers, the don't swarm the dogs like they usually do since we started giving these to them. We have black dogs and every other year they are miserable with the mosquitos bitting them, this year I'm jealous of them.

It says to put them around woodpiles and hiding areas where mice might go. I put them around my foundation and under my deck stairs. You can tell if you have a good spot if the cotton inside the tubes are scattered around the tube. That means the mice have found it and more than likely took some cotton from the tick tube. If you don't see some of the cotton outside the tick tube then I would move it to a different location in about a week. Their website is also a good source for information

I would find somewhere else unless you enjoy the zapping sound. Also, it will draw bugs to the area in general, so it should be away from where you sit, windows, etc. In general you hang them far away from the house or areas you hang out. Mine is below the overhang of a detached garage. (On a timer so that it comes on for a few hours every night) Line of sight doesn't matter, but you'll want to empty it periodically, so don't make it too difficult to get it back down.
